Disconcerting.

Letterboxd has been down for over an hour? I have reviews to write here...

So the Bendigo feed dropped out like a minute into the third quarter and never came back? #WNBL26

If the score in each quarter matters, it needs to be on the scoreboard. Commentators aren't even bothering to mention it in the closing stages of each quarter. #NBL26 #IgniteCup

New Orleans Pelicans playing Melbourne United in Melbourne, and it's somehow a Pelicans home game? WTF? #NBL26 #NBAxNBL

🤦‍♂️ #NBL26

Okay apparently nothing is a foul in the NBL anymore. #NBL26

How do you back Marcus Lee in on a challenge after he demanded one on a blatant foul the other night? Clearly a foul here too. #NBL26

Gotta say, I think the whistle-swallowing has gone a bit far. Two blatant fouls in the final minute of this one, with no call. Awesome to see bigs being given more leeway to battle, but McVeigh and Freeman-Liberty could both have been badly hurt. #NBL26

Is clock management not a thing anymore? #NBL26

I don't think Magnay shooting threes is the solution here. #NBL26

Tassie not doing anything to punish Melbourne sagging all the way off Magnay on the perimeter. Kills their offense every time he goes out there. #NBL26

Still waiting for Bluesky to be able to remember where I was up to so I don't have to scroll back through hours of posts every time I open the app.

Okay, but who is ordering the pint of guac when it's cheaper to order two half pints?

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Liking the same shit as someone else is the basis of friendship. Pretending to like the same shit as someone else is the basis of manners. Pretending to like the same shit someone else is pretending to like as an excuse for hating the same people as someone else is the basis of politics.

@alexpagliuca.bsky.social I'm sure I recall you writing about, or linking to, a number of things about why people enjoy horror, but a search of your posts is coming up empty. Am I misremembering, or just bad at search?

This is what happens when you curse two people at once, then the priestess gets their notes messed up.

@horrornonna.com Is there any way to access the essay on LOOP TRACK that you wrote for @arrowvideo.bsky.social? I'm assuming the booklet is long OOP at this point.

Talk about a cheap date

I think it is underrated that the magic glass boxes we carry in our pockets can be recharged by sticking them to a magnet for a while.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Got banned from Blu-ray.com for saying it was possible for Weyland-Yutani to be evil. The guy claiming that the first film portrays them as employee-friendly, and thus ROMULUS is leftist propaganda garbage, is apparently AOK.

For all the stuff about Trump tanking the US economy, I expected the Australian dollar might be doing decently against the US dollar, but instead it's absolutely collapsing. Fun.

And now AVS Forum has joined Blu-ray.com in being down. WTF is going on?

Blu-ray.com going down right as I try to do some work on my collection is less than ideal.

More scoring in the last two minutes than the rest of the game combined... #NBL25

Getting flashbacks to 2013 with this scoreline. #NBL25

So excited to tune in and watch my least favourite #NBL25 team win the title, a couple of weeks after watching my least favourite #WNBL25 team win the title.

Illawarra seems to have nothing to counter Melbourne standing off of Hickey. It's been three games now... #NBL25

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

I'm still waiting on a response to the multiple times i've asked what data the feature is trained on and how i can make sure my reviews are not included, but i'm sure you'll ignore this post like all the others

Yawn. #WNBL25

This account seems to be on the ball.

Didn't expect it to be this bad though. #NBL25

Hard to get excited for tonight's game knowing there's no way it will be as good as last night's. #NBL25

The auto USF for an inbounds foul was removed from the rule book years ago. #NBL25

The problem with getting Butler to give his quick explanations is it doesn't actually clarify anything for anyone who doesn't already understand why the call was made. #NBL25

Lots of people urging a move to Kobo in the wake of Amazon's latest Kindle move, but Kobo just sent me an email promoting Mein Kampf, a book about how BLM is "fake news," and a book about how the Pope conspired with Obama to unleash COVID and destroy the Catholic Church. Color me unimpressed.

Today in "buy physical media!": it's taken me 50 minutes to watch the first 25 minutes of THX 1138 on @criterion.bsky.social because it keeps buffering.

The Emilia Perez folks seem to have SUCH a chip on their shoulders about no one respecting them, despite leading the nominations total. It's like the late 2000s New England Patriots moved to France and made a shitty musical.

FFS @espnaustralia.bsky.social, STOP PUTTING THE NEWS TICKER ON RERUNS. What purpose is this serving, other than spoiling the result of the game I'm watching?

Intrigued by the narrative that Geelong really Miss Froling, given how good they've looked since she's been out. #WNBL25

Finished watching Illawarra beat Brisbane by 40, put on yesterday's Flames-Lightning game which I haven't seen yet....Flames up 20 at quarter time. Today is not a fun day. #NBL25 #WNBL25

DJV with a casual 21-point quarter....Cotton had a 20-point quarter in his 59-point game. #NBL25

Can we please stop saying teams have got a delay of game tech because "it's their second warning"? It's not a warning, it's a tech! That's the whole point of warnings! #NBL25

Finally got my @letterboxd.social stats for the year. It's telling me I've watched 55 films from my watchlist so far this year...despite the fact that I've only watched ten films this year. The first week of the year being only five days long means I watched zero films that week. Harsh.

They've followed with "Is It Over Now?" and "Shake it Off". I'm sensing a theme here. #WNBL25

Geelong just letting "Love Story" run in its entirety during play is the most inexplicable basketball DJ decision I have ever encountered. #WNBL25
